If you follow Boris Diaw on Instagram, you should know that he is the most interesting man in the NBA. From posting pictures of his gourmet meals paired perfectly with a glass of wine to his adventures traveling the globe, Diaw lives his life to the fullest. Diaw has decided to share his adventures with children by writing a book called Hoops to Hippos: True Stories of a Basketball Star on Safari

The book is mainly photos of Diaw's safari trips to Africa but Hoops to Hippos also highlights the need for protecting endangered species. 

Diaw's book is part of the series on National Geographic called Kids Chapters and sounds like a very engaging and entertaining read for young children.

NBA star Boris Diaw of the San Antonio spurs takes young readers on safari as he explores his off-court passion: wildlife photography! Join Diaw as he escapes from stampeding wildebeests, comes face-to-face with lions, and discovers why you should never come between a hippo and its watery home. Through engaging stories and photos by Diaw, readers will discover a whole new side to this basketball champ.

Of course adults can be entertained by Diaw's book as well but to fully enjoy it, make sure you only drink one glass of wine while reading it.
